1 /PRNewswire/ -- Decision Resources, one of the world's leading research and advisory firms for pharmaceutical and healthcare issues, finds that, for the second-line treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer, a targeted treatment that increases the median progression-free survival relative to a regimen of GlaxoSmithKline/Nippon Kayaku's Tykerb/Tyverb and Roche/Chugai's Xeloda would earn similar patient share in the U.

Seven of the 16 newly-diagnosed patients demonstrated stable disease with median progression-free survival of 64 weeks, and three of these seven patients have progression-free survival of over two years.
